Friday Jessica, Hannah and I went exploring around downtown. It was a lot of fun but lots of walking. My knees and calves were hurting. Hopefully I get use to all this walking soon. I only have so much Advil haha but anyways we discovered a lot places. We were going down all the streets and cutting corners that I don't even remember how to get to certain places. Our main goal was to get a phone so we could contact each other and the other USAC students. It's a little flip phone and has T9 texting. So weird to go back to a phone like it, reminds me of 6th grade. But it works so it doesn't matter.
I was a little worried about showering and getting ready to go out to the bars because I didn't know how everything worked but I figured it out. Plus my roommates were helping me out so that was nice. Things are getting better in the roommate department. Jessica and Hannah said I looked really Italian last night haha but I still feel like I need some pepper spray with me.
The 3 of us went out last night. First we drank some white wine at their apartment then headed out for dinner around 9:30pm. Everyone eats so late around here. That's going to take some getting use to. But we asked this cute old couple a good place to eat and they pointed us in the right direction. The place was excellent! I got a parmesan risotto and of course we order more wine.
After we were done with dinner it was close to 11:20 and more people were coming out. It seems like people don't go out to drink until 12. It's all about the night life here. You see old people walking around during the day and then young people at night. It's a trip! But I love it here. I'm getting use to more things so it's easy. But anyways about our night, after dinner we headed to all sorts of different bars. Again I had no idea where we were walking. I felt like we were going in circles but we found pubs! After a couple of random ones we finally found a place where other USAC students were. It was so much fun!! We met Italian boys and they were buying us drinks. Which are expensive. I brought 20 euro with me and came home with 0. Haha I didn't get home until 3:30am and slept in until 11:45. But once I finally got up and went out it was already 1pm. I feel like I lost my whole day!
Jessica had met this cute boy who is going to take us on a tour of Torino around 4:30pm. I'm excited and I hope he shows us how to use the metro & bus. It seems so confusing! Then tonight we are making gnocchi together and probably going out again. But I'm only bringing 10 euro with me this time.
I can't wait to start traveling and seeing other countries. On Monday we are going to school for our first meeting. I guess they are going to talk about school and our schedules. This one kid, Victor, was in Spain last semester and really knows how to travel. He said he wants to go on an eastern Mediterranean cruise for spring break!! I def want to be apart of that trip.
